4th Amendment for the 21st century

2. this would require a complete reversal of how we currently handle data

But, It would not be the first time in US history that major changes occurred. Currently we put everything out publicly and hope/assume that it is handled correctly. What if everything defaulted to anonymity first, with the individual in control of releasing it as needed? A Visa or Master-card that resembled a cash transaction? No tracking built into the system. What has happened imo, is that the system grew so big so fast, that there was not any thought to the long term repercussions. Maybe it is time to rethink things a bit. Maybe tear down some of the transaction logic and rebuild new logic based on privacy. This would likely be software solutions. No real need to modify any hardware. All of that infrastructure could remain.
